Inktpatroon HP Q2354A SPS blauw 42 ml 2242 pigment

The HP Q2354A and Q2353A Blue 2242 Pigment print cartridges contain blue pigment ink formulated to meet Universal Postal Union color and durability guidelines. Available in 42 ml (Q2354A) and 10 ml (Q2353A) capacities, these cartridges are intended for postal and direct-mail printing where legible, durable blue text, logos, barcodes and indicia are required. The pigmented ink resists smearing, bleeding and fading from light and moisture, and cartridges use non-contact, drop-on-demand thermal inkjet (TIJ) technology for reliable output.

Advantages

These Blue 2242 Pigment cartridges provide bright, consistent blue prints suitable for a range of mailing applications. The pigment formulation delivers water- and fade-resistant results that meet key postal authority requirements. Multiple reservoir sizes (10 ml and 42 ml) let users choose based on print volume and cost needs. Cartridges are snap-in, enabling quick replacement without special tools or service, while TIJ drop-on-demand technology helps maximize ink usage for efficient, economical printing.

Recommendations

For best results in direct mail and postal applications, test print on the intended substrate to confirm adhesion and color match to Universal Postal Union requirements. Choose the 42 ml Q2354A for sustained production and the 10 ml Q2353A for environments with infrequent use or where smaller quantities of blue pigment ink are preferred.
